Welcome!

I'm so glad you are here!
I'm Kellie, creator of Blackboard Kitchen. I share tidbits from my world here: recipes, how-to videos, the occasional home improvement project, and funny things my students say. You can find out more about me on the "Meet Kellie" page!

If you want to save a bit of cash this week, you could sub dried pasta for the fresh pasta and you could remove the mascarpone cheese from the sauce to make it a regular tomato sauce. You could also use dried black beans (remember to soak them overnight before using) in place of canned beans.

Pantry Items

As always, there are several pantry items that you will need and are not on this week’s grocery list. Be sure you have the following on hand: dried basil, dried parsely, dried oregano, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, cumin, all-purpose flour, olive oil, grapeseed oil, and basalmic vinegar.
